Last night my mother said to me   I'm sick of making history   There's got to be another way   But we've got all these bills to pay   And they ain't just gonna go away   Like a factory - about to be shut down   Another factory - about to be shut down   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   You're gonna like this one, i do See if Mr. Botha was a man   He'd tip the hat, he'd pass the can   But he don't talk for you and me   I saw him on the BBC   His eyes looked like a factory   About to be shut down   His eyes looked like a factory   With the lights out - about to be shut down   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Last night my mother said to me   I'm sick of making history   There's got to be a better way   For you to be   Last night my mother said to me   i'm sick of making history   there's got to be another way for you to be   When you grow up what will you be   If not the white minority   At least protect me   I'm not a factory about to be shut down   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold   Sold - There's got to be a better way than this
